I'd like to join, I was in the BS challenge for 2009 but due to a number of setbacks I didn't make it. I'm shooting for BSL for 2010 and than focusing on maintaining. I think for me the goal is being consistent. My Regi is in my siggy and that is what I plan on sticking to all year. I'm not going to be sidetracked by the next biggest thing I know what works.
I'll wash weekly, and apply mild/med protein treatment every other week. Since I have a table top steamer I will DC with steam weekly and roller set.

I am so excited I purchased today a few things I needed, I got wig spray for my lacefronts and hairpieces, I bought a Pool cap so that I am not chancing my hair,
I got these conditioning caps which are Self Warming for $1.99 at Sally's they are so worth it. I get the softest hair. I also don't have to plug up my hooded dryer.
I also got a Bun for my hair so See I will be protective styling also, with my wigs, my lacefront, pony tails and my buns. I Have to get to taking pictures of those as well. LOL, Put it in my fotki.
I got the Bun in the pic but in my color of 1 to match my hair and tried it on. it looks so cute, I got a Medium sized bun, I don't think the small would look good unless I was getting two to do pony tail buns side by side.

Hey everyone! I'm Malaya, a long time lurker who has finally decided to get active with this challenge! I have been using the great advice I've found on this site to get my hair back in shape after a major cut of about 4 inches a few months ago after a (failed) attempt to transition of about 7 months. After my cut in April 2009, I decided to keep my relaxer and focus on growing my relaxed hair long and strong.
Regimen:
-Wash weekly with co-wash mid week (co-wash was added about a month ago)
-Pre-poo with on dry hair with conditioner, oil, and honey for several hours or overnight before shampoo wash
-deep condition with heat weekly (this is something new I'm trying to start)
-moisturize and seal ends daily at night, using baggie few times weekly
-reduce heat usage, which is hard because I love the straight hair look. (I need to back away from the blow dryer and the Chi flat iron) In the past, I've using heat once weekly and I know I really need to cut this down significantly to improve my hair condition. I recently cut back to heat every two weeks, but I still want to cut down more.
-Protein treatments as needed
Products your using: Nexxus line, keracare, suave coconut and humectant conditioner, sta sof fro, carol's daughter hair elixir, and a few other things I'm trying to use up to reduce my stash!
Starting Hair Length: APL (type 4 hair)
Goal Month: December 2010
Pics for starting goal: I'll try to post one in the next few days!

I have a feeling alot of ladies are going to be BSL/BSB this year, I just do. We have a list of ladies going strong already, I am so excited. Our challenge officially starts this Friday, ladies it is our first day of BSL/BSB Challenge can you BELIEVE IT?
Tips for retention:
Time flys when your having fun. Ladies please don't jump on band wagons, please also understand what works for ONE may not work for you. I can not stress it enough. IF IT ISN't BROKE don't fix it, you'll mess up your balance, I am guilty of this and
myself every month I had to spend getting it back. But I did and it took over 5 months. SO ladies no Bandwagons with products, especially if your hair is already together.
Keep your hands outta your hair, Protective style when you can, sleep with a satin pillow case and satin hair bonnet, don't comb with a small teeth come, limit the amount of heat in your head, go professional with you chemicals if you can, listen to your hair when it speaks, don't ignore signs of issues-denial gives us set backs we could have avoided, Limit Alcohol products as much as you can, Stretch as much as possible-but not beyond your limits, eat healthy, don't watch the boiling pot, take pictures 3-6 months so you can see your progress and of course we love
hair porn as well, heck take pictures of your protective styles as well we love it all, don't be a length whore when it comes to getting rid of split ends, Deep Condition Deep condition Deep deep condition.
Well those are just some things that came to my head, if you have any others please add!

Sooo, here are my end of the year pics! I'm aiming for full BSB in September of 2010. I think I'll make BSB by February-April. BUT I don't think it will be full until September (plus I plan on trimming in March). I get good growth in the summer so I think full BSB by September is a good goal (keeping my fingers crossed, lol). But by Decemeber of next year I know I fully expect to see my hair at BSB! LOL. Here are my pics:
My hair how I usally rock it, I'd like to see it at SL-APL:
My last straightening job:
A few days old:
So far I wash once every 7-10 days with a moisturizing poo and I always deep condition when I do it. I use Nexxus (or whatever it's called now) protein treatment once every 4-6 weeks. I just let my hair give me an idea of what I should use as far as actual conditioners and poos. I moisturize mostly with coconut oil and some type of cream or butter. I seal with jojoba. I search and destroy in between trims and I am a braidout fanatic and if I have nowhere to go then I leave the braids in with a roller at the end. I PS every once in a while (I really don't care for it much.). And I wear beanies to cover my hair from the cold. I straighten here and there also, and I use my maxiglide to flatiron. I also blowdry on cool even if I'm not straightening, my hair takes too long to dry and I don't like stepping into the cold with a damp head. That's pretty much it for now. I'm sure I'll change something sooner or later.
Good luck ladies!

This week I had been experiencing breakage so I decided to to a treatment with Nexxus Emergencee today. My hair feels great, though i must admit that I have been slacking with my protein. So I am also focusing on keep up the needs of my hair and not just hiding it. Luckily I have someone that helps me with what I need help with anytime of the day.

You won't believe I was on my lap top doing the list page by page off of my husbands lap top, yeah I had two going for one hour or more doing the LIST and BAM, computer shut down because of my low battery, I LOST everything, I had to do the list twice. First time I didn't rush the second time it was like 11:30pm and I was ready to cry like awwwwwww!
So I was on my AM hours doing this list. I am glad you didn't feel bad!
I agree this is going to be a good year. I feel it in my bones, or that could be joint inflamations. LOL! Kidding
